From White House ballroom to IndyCar race, Trump's spectacles take center stage in D.C.

The Supreme Court has temporarily allowed construction of President Trump's White House ballroom to continue. According to Vox, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a stay on a lower court injunction that would have halted construction. This decision, reported by multiple outlets including PBS NewsHour, CBS News, and Le Monde English, enables the project to proceed while the Supreme Court considers the Trump administration's appeal.

The ballroom project has been the subject of controversy, with lower courts previously ruling that Trump exceeded his authority in pursuing it without congressional approval. Fortune reported that the project is estimated to cost $400 million. The administration has argued that the president has the authority to renovate the White House and that the ballroom project is necessary for national security reasons.

In addition to the ballroom project, President Trump is also set to be involved in an IndyCar race in the nation's capital this weekend, as reported by PBS NewsHour. No further details on the event were provided in the reports.
